From wedding dress changes to cakes so high you need a step ladder to cut them, the wedding business is completely booming.
However, while many couples getting ready to say 'I do' live by the mantra 'you only get married once', it means they don't spare any cost when it comes to making their big day special.
And this has proved to be a big mistake for many as over half of Britons have admitted their biggest regret is how much they spent.
In research conducted by VoucherCodesPro.co.uk, they found that while many pairs admitted it was the best day of their lives, they wished they hadn't quite blown the budget so much.
With the couples admitting they'd spent on average £19,870 on their wedding day, brides revealed they thought the biggest unnecessary expense was the flowers.
However, for men, the flowers came third on their list of biggest wastes of money as they actually stated the bride's wedding dress was what they wasted the money on the most.
We don't think you'll hear many brides saying that, especially if they've found one of these beauties from the high street.
Here's the top five things the groom wish they hadn't spent so much money on:
1. My wife’s wedding dress
2. Bridesmaid dresses
3. Floral arrangements/wedding bouquets
4. The suits
5. The reception venue
Brides mostly regretted spending money on:
1. Floral arrangements/wedding bouquets
2. Decorations
3. The suits
4. Food and drink
5. Car/transportation
It looks like the diamond ring – which both sides of a couple seemed happy to spend money on – is about to get that little bit cheaper though as a new engagement trend has happened.
Forgetting all about the previous diamonds, it's now a top trend to buy coloured jewels.
